just over 3 wks until my surgery and i'm starting to get nervous about all that i have to get done at work and then at home in order to "laid up" for at least the 1st week...Started really thinking about all that I do between work and home (especially home) recently. Don't get me wrong my husband does a lot to help out around the house and with the kids, but I do the majority and it is going to extremely obvious when I am down and out for a minimum of 10days (as I have set aside for now) after my surgery. That first weekend I hope I'm in such a drugged up state that I won't even be aware of anything going on around me. I just do not want to put my recovery in jeopardy because I "can't let" someone else do all the stuff I typically do. I will just have to sit or better yet, lie back and let things happen around me. I HAVE to so I can be back on my feet in a reasonable amount of time. Just need to keep reminding myself, I DON'T HAVE to do everything.
Great review?

My Doctor:

i have a friend who had 6 children and was very happy with her tummy tuck done by Dr. DeLange and have heard a local radio show hostess speak very highly of him based on work he has done for her and a few of her friends.

Wow! Congrats on the weight loss first of all. It's very hard trying to loss it. Good luck on your t.t. and you're right you'll just have to sit back and let others do the work. Just look at it as a vacation. You need to heal properly and getting up doing things isn't going to help. Take care of your investment. Can't wait to see your update pics.
